Starfield Vineyards El Dorado Conouise 2023, California Reddish in color with light intensity. Fruity nose of fresh picked strawberries, cherries, raspberries, spices and light herbs. Medium bodied with medium acidity. Dry on the palate with bing cherries, raspberries, spices, light oak, bitter vegetables and earth notes. Short finish with soft tannins and bitter herbs. This is such an interesting red wine from California. Feels like a very light Southern Rhone red. Fruit forward and elegant. Nicely balanced with mild complexity. Good right out of the bottle, and gets earthier as it opens up. Easy drinking, and good by itself or with food. A nice wine to pair with a nice day by the pool. A blend of 95% Counoise and 5% Grenache. Aged for 18 months in (24% new) French oak barrels. A tiny production of less than 1,200 bottles. 12.5% alcohol by volume. 88 points. $38.

Starfield Vineyards The Miner's Inch 2023, El Dorado, California Purplish in color with medium plus intensity. Strong nose of red and blue fruits with light wood, mediterranean spices, earth, oregano, light vegetables, rhubarb and black pepper. Medium plus in body with medium acidity. Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, sweet cherries, earth, chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs, light oak, black tea, vegetables and peppercorn. Tangy on the finish with fine grained tannins. This tasty red blend from California is complex and fruit forward, with enough earth notes to round it up. Nicely balanced and easy drinking right out of the bottle, with a very interesting nose. Showing nice complexity already, and enjoyable even by itself. Feels like a Cotes du Rhône red. Very interesting out of California. Good right out of the bottle, and gets more complex after 30 minutes of airtime. Good by itself or with food, and a good party wine too. I gave it a light chill, and had it by the pool. Paired very nicely with my Italian Prosciutto and crackers. A blend of 30% Grenache, 17% Aglianico, 14% petite Sirah, 14% Tempranillo, 9% Cinsault, 9% Mourvedre, 4% Roussanne and 3% Counoise.
